Pillows with Fringe

Use our step-by-step sewing instructions to make these quick and easy pillows with pleats and ruffles.
Crafts Supplies:
  • Felt (yellow)
  • 3/8-inch-wide velvet ribbon (green)
  • Fiberfill
Sewing Instructions
  1. Cut a strip of felt 9 inches wide and 18 inches long and hand-stitch two parallel lines close together through the center of the strip. Pull on the ends of each thread so felt strip gathers into a ruffle.
  2. Make a 6-inch-wide ruffle in the same manner. Machine-stitch the 6-inch ruffle in the middle of the larger ruffle.
  3. Cut two 12-inch squares from felt.
  4. Machine-stitch the double ruffle in the center of one square.
  5. Pin a piece of velvet ribbon in the center of the double ruffle.
  6. Place the squares right sides together and machine-stitch around edges, leaving a small opening along one edge for turning. Make sure you catch the ends of the velvet ribbon in the seams.
  7. Turn right side out and stuff with fiberfill. Hand-stitch the opening closed.
